Alice snoozed very briefly on the way to the hairdresser's, oophs! So she looked at the inside of her cot for a while after lunch. Mid afternoon we went to K's, Alice fell asleep 10 minutes before we got there, I let her sleep in the car in front of K's front window (her neighbour was a little surprised when I got her out of the 30 minutes after I arrived, she was very warm as I used Truffles Panda as a blanket!)
After tea I bundled her up and we went on a train (1st time with me!) to C'ph'y for a 'Parade of Light'. We collected the lanterns that we made last weekend and then waited an age for the parade to begin, then we walked down through town and ended up at the castle. Unfortunately we then had to wait a very long time for the fireworks to begin. The fireworks were excellent but the other children had had enough before they began, so we watched most of the display and then went back to the car - Alice continued to watch over my shoulder, she was entranced (but only when being held, not whilst in the buggy!) A good evening, very cold and slightly spoilt by poor organisation - I hope the Council are blog readers!! An emotional evening for me - holding Alice in front of the castle I couldn't help remembering last year, the uncertainty and the hope that 'next year' I'd have my baby - it was wonderful to be able to take Alice with me this year, very special.
